RE: Did Marantz Ever Install Sprague 160P Caps in the 8B as Stock?

This is the first time in 25 years I ever read an old capacitor outperform the K40Y-9 except the Sprague Vitamin Q highest series (think 196P) that seems equal or perhaps slightly better. You are stating a night & day difference. Your post may be the most important post I ever read if it is true. Very little is posted about old Good All capacitors. You are sure about this? What Good All series are these capacitors? Your statement is revolutionary if true.

On my best upgraded tube amp voices are not heard from the speakers, they are projected in mid air. I can barely tell the difference in-between a person talking in front of me or thru the stereo. I can easily hear the differences in coupling capacitors.
